The way Shakespeare's works (especially his comedies) are taught in high school is horrendous. Teachers focus on the iambic pentameter and the obscure themes but what makes Shakespeare so much fun is the messy telenovela levels of drama.

I love that it's been almost 20 years since the Cassandra Clare plagiarism scandal happened and she still can't escape. No matter how successful she is, no matter the awards she gets, this remains a stain on her career. And I have it from good sources, that she HATES that!

Fun fact: It was American evangelicals who started this in Uganda. They went over to Uganda and convinced them that people like me deserve the death sentence. And this is ultimately what they want for all of us here in the U.S. This is not simply a dog whistle, it's GENOCIDE.

Strip away every iambic pentameter and the historical settings and those stories still are popular and still hold up to this day because at the core they are still good stories. To teach to kids, you have to strip away that b.s. and teach the story not the pretenses.

What proves my point is the modern adaptions of Shakespeare's works. In the late 90s, the movie trend was to modernize literary works and slap new names on them. 'Clueless' is a retelling of Emma by Jane Austen but most famously is '10 Things I Hate About You'.

The reason that Shakespeare's stories has survived even centuries after his death is not the rhyming scheme or the obscure themes. Its stories themselves. These stories are about complex,sad,messy, sometimes funny, and deeply flawed characters.

Also, the demand for diversity is much more nuanced. You just can't slap color on a white character and call it a good old day. The public is much more aware of race, sexuality, and social justice issues. Also BIPOC readers have more options to read BIPOC ownvoices books.
